Step 1 – Wiring 

 

The following table shows you the necessary wires to connect from the 

SP-402/502,

 and what they connect to. 

This chart only lays out what is needed for basic remote start operation and keyless entry. Any wires on your 
remote start that are NOT listed in the table are NOT required. Security features are optional and connection 
requirements will depend on your needs. For security connections, refer to 

SP-402/502

 owner’s manual and 

your vehicle wiring chart.

(refer to your vehicle wire chart) 

 

The following MAY be needed:

 

 

ORANGE/BLACK 
(12-pin harness)  

Vehicle OEM Alarm Disarm wire 

 

Use only if your vehicle has a factory 
alarm system that gets tripped when you 
attempt to activate the remote starter.

 

(refer to your vehicle wiring chart) 
*Save connection for last to see if you need it* 

 

NOTE  1    

Some vehicles will call for a ‘+’ polarity connection to the parking light circuit and some will call for a ‘-

‘ connection.   The red/black wire on the remote start is used to select the polarity of the remote start’s parking 
light output.  If your vehicle’s parking light wire is shown with a ‘+’ on your wiring chart, connect the red/black 
wire to a co12v power source (you can tap it right on to one of the large red power input wires on the 
remote start’s 6-pin harness).    If your vehicle’s parking light wire is shown with a ‘-’ on your wiring chart, 
connect the red/black wire to ground.   The white wire in the remote start 12-pin harness is the actual parking 
light output wire.   After you’ve properly selected it’s polarity using the red/black wire, connect the white wire 
to the parking light wire in your vehicle, as indicated on your wiring chart. 

 

NOTE 2 

The grey wire is used with a pin switch (included in your kit) to prohibit the remote start from activating 

while the hood is open.   This is an important safety feature! 

 

-Before proceeding, plug the antenna, programming button, and LED into the remote start.   For tips on where 
to install these, see Installer’s Tip  #1 .
